3.3.2 Oscillating Lock Mechanism

DANGER
When operating such equipment as the boom or guide shell, make sure that the right
and left crawler track shoes are both touching the ground otherwise it might tip the
machine over.

WARNING
If the right and left truck frames are not oscillating during the machine traveling, stop
moving and ask your nearest distributor to check and restore it.

Because the right and left oscillating cylinders work together as a hydraulic linking circuit, the right
and left crawlers oscillate in reverse directions and against each other, according to the unevenness
of the ground. That increases stability when moving over unleveled ground.
The automatic oscillating lock mechanism changes the hydraulic linking circuit (LOCK - OPEN),
automatically linking to the traveling levers and the oscillating switch.
★ For the operation of the oscillating switch, refer to 3.6.2 “Hydraulic Cylinder Control Panel”.

z LOCK
When the travel levers or the oscillating switch is not operated
then the left and right track frames can't be oscillated.

17305002

z OPEN
When traveling, or operating the oscillating lever, oscillation of
the left and right track frames is available. Because the right
and left oscillating cylinders work together as a hydraulic
connecting circuit, the right and left track frames oscillate in
reverse directions and against each other, according to the
unevenness of the ground. That increases stability when
moving over unleveled ground.
★ When the boom swings in 15° or more against the main 17305003

3.13.1 Handling of Fire Extinguisher

DANGER
Do not disassemble the fire extinguisher: the container might burst.

WARNING
The life period of the fire extinguisher is about 8 years.
When the hand of the pressure gauge (1) is not within the green range, there is rust or
scratching on the container, or the hose is degraded: replace the fire extinguisher by
new one.

If the fire extinguishing liquid gets into your eyes or on your skin, wash it well off with
clean running water and consult your doctor.

CX15004

The fire extinguisher in the machine is effective for the following:


General Fire: fiber, paper and wood fires.
Oil Fire: Diesel and other such oil fires.
Electric Fire: Fire in electrical equipment with a risk of shock.

Precautions in Extinguishing Fire


The forcible use might increase the fire. It may not be possible to use the extinguisher to deal with a
large fire or to use the extinguisher fast enough.
The fire extinguishing should be from the windward so that gases are not inhaled.
Tilting the extinguisher reduces its efficiency. Keep it as straight upright as possible.
The fire extinguishing liquid is electric conductive. In order to prevent a short circuit or electric
shock; turn off the power when fighting fire electrical equipment.
In fire fighting, approach the fire gradually keeping back 3 m after the fire is reduced.
When fighting fire always keep open an escape route.

Drilling Precautions

Beware with Blow Up of Cuttings


Check if cuttings are blows up by means of flushing air during drilling.
If the blowhole at the bit tip is stuffed, the flushing air pressure is increased.
If the blowout of the flushing air becomes weak, cuttings cannot be discharged normally to easily
result in hole stuffing and jamming.
★ When the anti-jamming switch is set to [I] or [II], the drifter moves backward automatically when
the flushing air pressure has increased, or the airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip.


O Ⅱ

RP Ⅲ

17310039

Clean the Drilling Hole


If the cuttings cannot be discharged normally or the flushing air pressure increases, stop the impact
and move the drifter up and down 2 – 3 times to clean the hole before re-starting drilling.
★ When the anti-jamming switch is set to [II], the drifter is automatically stopped moving forward if
the rotation pressure is excessively increased.

Beware of Spring Water


If dirty water is collected, the filter element in the dust collector may be clogged and dust collection
degraded.

If spring water comes out during drilling, tilt the flushing lever
to the left and stop the dust collector operation.

4.6.4 Using Anti-Jamming Controller

NOTICE
Before activating the anti-jamming controller in drilling, reset the anti-jamming control
and adjust the machine for smooth drilling.

To adjust the anti-jamming controller, ask your nearest distributor.

★ For adjustment of the anti-jamming controller, refer to the “Adjustment Instruction Manual”
(separate volume).

Generally, in drilling, if the rock is hard the rotation pressure should be set to high and if the rock is
soft it should be set to low.
For efficient drilling, if the rock is soft and the rotation pressure is high, the feed pressure and impact
pressure should be set to low: if the rock is hard and the rotation pressure is low, the feed and impact
pressures should be set to high.

When drilling with the anti-jamming controller on, set the mode selector switch to N mode and the
anti-jamming switch to [III].
Set the guide shell at drilling position while performing impact and rotation, and then turn the control
grip to the regular drilling position.
The rotation, feed, impact and damper pressures are detected and each pressure is controlled so as
to optimize drilling in changing rock quality and rock bed.
Automatic drilling is available by activating the anti-jamming controller.
★ For the anti-jamming switch, refer to 3.7.1 “Control Panel”.

z Tow the machine with it set to "traveling posture”.
z Movement of a towed machine should only be for checking or maintenance.
Do not tow the machine more than 100m. If a longer distance is required, transport it on a vehicle
such as a trailer.
z Tow the machine at 2km/h or less, otherwise the drive motor might seize.
z Use a tow wire rope of 1.5 times or more of the strength needed to tow a vehicle of the mass of
the machine to be towed.
z Do not use a twisted or kinked wire rope.
z Do not use a chain to tow the machine because a link might break.
z The size of the tractor should be equivalent to or larger than the machine to be towed.
z Move and set the wire rope so that the coupling section of the tractor is aligned with the
attachment to the machine.
z Before towing, make sure there is nobody between the tractor and the machine.
z If the tractor moves suddenly the wire rope might break.
